Great characters and interesting plot.
I absolutely love these books. The world of Pern with the Dragons and riders dedicated to protecting the planet. The set up of the world is very imaginative put scientifically possible. I’ll admit I’ve read the entire 23 novel series. This set is the beginning and can be read as complete. Relax and let you imagination go to a new world and …
When this was written it was an original idea. It’s not so original now but still a wonderful story and series. Highly recommended!
One of my favorite series of books. It seems that every time I re-read it, I find something new.
Ms McCaffrey was a consistent writer, with a wonderful imagination.
The only complaint I’ve ever had with any of her books is a tendency to stock characters (all the hold headwomen are alike, for example).
I was disappointed that Lessa’s psychic powers pretty much vanished in later books. I was very disappointed that the plot of the later book, …
I love Anne McCaffery. I love that music penetrates all of her work. I love that she has both big and little dragons that are not just telepathic, but they truly care about the humans in their lives. I love that she favors red heads. And I love that way her narrative loops around on itself in the young adult series, weaving its way through the …
I first read this book many years ago. I’ve read the entire series several times. I love the characters and the character development throughout the series. If you’re a fan of science fiction I’d definitely recommend this!
Anne McCaffrey’s characters are like family when you finish the books. I read these multiple times beginning when I was in Jr High. (Looong ago). The stories keep you thinking and trying to tie it all together in your mind as the pieces come together. Best of all, she has such talent as a writer her books do not degrade to soft porn!
Don’t start unless you’ve time to immerse yourself in all her books
This was a great book and a great series.
The dragons were great but the characters were straight out of a comic book or a soap opera.
I have read all of her books and loved every one of them.
wonderful fantasy
I read this trilogy once about every ten years – just read it again last month. Not only is it a great story – it’s a real lesson in sociology. We really do need each other even though we sometimes forget.
Wonderful world and characters
I’ve read this in the past and I really like the author. I’ve read a number of titles inspired by the author.
The whole series is excellent.
I loved all of the Pern stories by Anne McCafferey!
I loved it the whole series if fantastic
I first started reading about Pern in High School, decades ago, and reread them every few years. Love them.
